Distance is Too Low on My Throws

TechDisc uses a physics based simulator to recreate your shots based on your real-life throw metrics and your virtual disc flight numbers. There are a few common issues people will have with their TechDisc simulated numbers. 

1. Low Launch Angle:

A low launch angle will result in very little flight time for your disc. Throwing into a net can often affect this. If you are throwing into a pocket for a net not made for disc golf, or you have a short net, you may be limited in the height your disc will be able to simulate. 

Pro tip: If you're struggling to find the proper launch angle, use our flight simulator to find what should be your ideal launch and then consider marking your net to help you cue in your launch.

2. Simulated Disc Doesn't Match Your Real-World Disc:

The default simulated disc might not accurately represent your go-to distance driver. Most often the simulated disc is too overstable. Try adjusting the flight numbers to match your real world disc flights.

Pro Tip: Most often, simulated discs wind up more overstable in our simulator. Consider using our stock shots feature to help find your average throw and then build your bag based off those throws. Worry less about the manufacturers flight numbers versus the flight numbers that allow your disc to fly the way it does in the real world.

The simulator is a tool, not a perfect replica of reality due to a variety of factors in throws including humidity, elevation, wind etc. By understanding these limitations and making adjustments, you can still utilize the simulator to analyze your throws and improve your disc golf game.
